While securing sources for my thesis, I discovered the digital galleries of the New York Public Library! They have a large number of sources fully digitized and available for your consumption, including things by George Smith (who I used while writing a furnishing plan), James and Robert Adam, and Thomas King - all big names in my world. This wealth of design sources is unexpected and AWESOME, and I wish I had known about it last year. I cannot get over how cool this is, and I could literally spend hours looking through all of these images of costume, furniture, architecture, and other decorative arts and interiors. And, to top it off, you can buy prints of any page you want (if you could ever choose).
